Definitions

  • This invention relates generally to motor vehicle bumper systems, and more particularly, to bumper systems comprising a fascia with integral energy absorbers.
  • bumpers ore employed not only to control and limit the energy from an impact as it enters the vehicle, typically channeling the energy into structural members of the vehicle, but also to limit the damage to a vehicle as a result of relatively minor accidents, thereby fulfilling the 5 mph impact test.
  • automotive bumpers came in two general varieties.
  • a first general variety of known bumpers comprises an outer fascia having a layer of energy absorbing foam, typically a polyurethane foam, disposed behind the fascia.
  • the fascia and foam are further attached to a structural bumper beam.
  • the fascia provides the cosmetic outer surface viewable from the exterior of the vehicle. Under an impact event, impact energy to the fascia is, to some degree, absorbed or dissipated by the energy absorbing foam material.
  • the bumper beam is designed to absorb the impact and route it to structural components of the vehicle, such as frame rails.
  • the second general variety of bumper assemblies comprises a fascia, a bumper beam and, usually two, hydraulic or pneumatic piston type shock absorbers.
  • the fascia fulfills the aesthetic requirements of the bumper assembly.
  • the bumper beam is typically a metallic member disposed behind, and/or contained within the fascia, for receiving the energy of an impact and channeling the energy to the shock absorbers.
  • the shock absorbers as with the shocks in the suspension system, absorb and lessen the energy of an impact and transfer the remainder of the energy to structural components of the vehicle, such as frame rails.
  • the present invention is an automotive bumper system comprising a an outer shell having at least one, but preferably several, energy absorbing features disposed adjacent thereto.
  • the energy absorbing features preferable functionally comprise projections from an inner surface of the outer shell. These energy absorbing features may actually be integral with the inner surface of the outer shell, or may be separate components disposed adjacent to the inner surface of the outer shell.
  • the energy absorbing features may include cones, pyramids, cylinders, or truncated variations of the previous. Additionally, the energy absorbing characteristics of the energy absorbers may be modified by providing them with indentations.
  • the energy absorbers and the outer shell both preferably comprise a polymeric material, although not necessarily the same polymeric material.
  • the present invention provides a method of making a bumper having energy absorbing features.
  • the method is a sequential molding operation wherein the outer shell is formed of a polymeric material in a first mold. Subsequently the energy absorbing features are formed integrally with the inner surface of the outer shell using a mold wherein at least a portion of the mold is defined by the previously formed outer shell inner surface. Alternately, the energy absorbing features may be formed first, and the outer shell formed subsequently thereto. Consistent with this last, as least a portion of the mold forming the inner surface of the outer shell is defined by at least a portion of the previously formed energy absorbers.
  • the outer shell is formed separately from the energy absorbers. The separately formed outer shell and energy absorbers may subsequently be joined together by methods including thermal bonding, adhesive bonding, solvent welding, mechanical fastening etc.
  • FIG. 1 is a rear perspective view of a fascia with the fascia partially cut away to show a pattern of energy absorbers
  • FIG. 2 is a cross sectional view of the fascia of FIG. 1 taken along line 2-2.
  • outer shell 10 is a fascia of a motor vehicle. As shown in FIG. 2, the outer shell 10 is generally the aesthetic component of a bumper system 12, and covers the internal components of the bumper system 12 including an energy absorber 14 and support structure 16, such as a bumper beam.
  • Outer shell 10 has an inner surface 18 and an outer surface 20, and comprises a plastic material. At least one, and more preferably a plurality of, energy absorbers 14 are attached to outer shell 10.
  • the energy absorbers 14 comprise isolated protuberances projecting from the inner surface 18 of the outer shell 10.
  • Preferred designs of the energy absorbers 14 comprise cylinders, cones, truncated cones, pyramids, or truncated pyramids.
  • energy absorbers 14 are disposed adjacent the support structure 16 when outer shell 10 is assembled to the vehicle. In the case of an impact to the outer surface 20 of outer shell 10, energy absorbers 14 deform and absorb either the entire impact energy or at least a portion thereof. Optionally, and depending on the magnitude of the impact, the energy absorbers 14 may also transmit energy to the support structure 16.
  • the energy absorption characteristics of energy absorbers 14 maybe modified by providing the energy absorbers 14 with at least one indentation 22, preferably extending from a surface adjacent the support structure towards the inner surface 18 of the outer shell 10, therein providing the energy absorbers 14 with a cored construction.
  • the energy absorbing characteristics of energy absorbers 14 may further be modified by varying the number of, and separation between, energy absorbers 14 .
  • the number of energy absorbers may be increased.
  • the height of energy absorber 14 i.e. the distance between the surface adjacent the support structure and the inner surface 18 of the outer shell 10
  • the ratio of cross-sectional area of the surface of energy absorber 14 in contact with inner surface 18 will also alter the energy absorbing characteristics.
  • the energy absorbing characteristics of the energy absorbers 14 may be further modified by connecting the energy absorbers with a rib structure to form an egg crate or grid structure.
  • Outer shell 10 is preferably formed from a thermoplastic material using a thermoplastic injection molding process.
  • An exemplary thermoplastic material comprises polypropylene (PP).
  • outer shell 10 may also be formed from a thermoset material using, for example, a reaction injection molding process.
  • An exemplary thermoset material comprises thermoset polyurethane.
  • Other forming techniques may include, but are not limited to, injection-compression molding, compression molding, thermoforming, vacuum forming, pressure forming and blow molding. It is preferred that the outer shell 10 be molded in color, thereby obviating the need for post process painting or finishing.
  • Energy absorbers 14 are preferably formed from an energy absorbing polymer material, more preferably an expanded polymeric foam material.
  • the energy absorbing foam material may comprise a thermoplastic or thermoset polymeric material, and the blowing agent used to foam the polymer may be chemical or physical.
  • energy absorbers 14 maybe formed from a solid thermoplastic or thermoset polymeric material.
  • An exemplary thermoplastic material comprises polypropylene (PP), while an exemplary thermoset material comprises thermoset polyurethane.
  • PP polypropylene
  • thermoset material comprises thermoset polyurethane.
  • energy absorbers 14 are preferably formed by injection molding.
  • energy absorbers 14 are preferably formed by reaction injection molding.
  • outer shell 10 and energy absorbers 14 are manufactured using a sequential two-step molding process.
  • energy absorber 14 are formed from a first polymeric material injected or otherwise introduced, into a first mold cavity comprising the shape of energy absorbers 14. The mold is then adjusted to provide a second mold cavity comprising the shape of the outer shell 10.
  • Outer shell 10 is then formed from a second polymeric material injected into the second mold cavity.
  • the inner surface 18 of outer shell 10 bonds to energy absorbers 14 during the molding operation.
  • outer shell 10 may be formed first, and the energy absorbers 14 maybe formed thereafter.
  • the outer shell 10 and energy absorbers 14 may be molded using a single, integrated piece of equipment, rather than having to transfer the first molded object to a second piece of molding equipment.
  • a rotatable platen molding apparatus When a rotatable platen molding apparatus is used, the first mold cavity comprising the shape of the energy absorbers 14 starts the molding cycle at a first molding station. At the first molding station, polymeric material is introduced into a mold comprising the first mold cavity. Shortly thereafter, the rotatable platen is rotated approximately 120 degrees and the molded energy absorbers 14 are indexed to a second molding station.
  • polymeric material is introduced into a mold comprising the second mold cavity comprising the outer shell 10.
  • the inner surface 18 of outer shell 10 bonds to the energy absorber 14 during or shortly after molding.
  • the rotatable platen is rotated approximately 120 degrees and the formed energy absorbers 14 and outer shell 10 are indexed to a de-mold station where they are removed from the molding operation.
  • the outer shell 10 may be formed in the first mold cavity and the energy absorber 14 may be formed in the second mold cavity.
  • outer shell 10 and energy absorbers 14 may be formed in completely separate independent mold operations and, rather than being joined during the formation of the second piece, may be joined subsequently after both pieces are first formed.
  • preferred methods of joining include, but are not limited to, thermal welding, thermal bonding, solvent bonding, mechanical attachment and/or adhesive bonding, as well as combinations thereof.
  • outer shell 10 and energy absorbers 14 maybe formed at the same time and from the same polymeric material. This will reduce the number of mold cavities required from two to one, and reduce the complexity of the equipment and the molding operation.
